Nanming: I can build wonders

"Of course very good!"

Prime Minister Chen Yonghua took the lead in speaking.

"As long as the railway is built, Daming will have the opportunity to enter Dongyinzhou, which is much stronger than Nazhi Fangzhang Province (Australia)!"

"The Prime Minister is right. The Fangzhang Province is big but not beautiful. There are only a few people who can farm and cultivate. Looking at Dongyinzhou, the amount of cultivated land here, if it is developed, is probably more than all the cultivated land in our Ming Dynasty. Is it too much?"

Farming genes rooted in the soul of Chinese people.

"That's the reason!"

Hearing this, Qiu Hui beside him also nodded.

"However, such a continent can still be opened up, another piece of world! In case a country is established one day, it will compete with my Ming mainland."

Qiu Hui, Minister of the Ministry of War, is very sensitive.

Yes, once such a large piece of land is successfully developed, it must be quite powerful.

"Qiu Shangshu is right. Yinzhou is far away from overseas. It is already quite risky to develop on the west coast. If the center of development is shifted to the plains on the east coast, it will be even farther away from my Ming Dynasty. This Panama has built a railway line, but once the local people have a heart and rebel against the imperial court, it will be very difficult for the imperial court to send troops to recover..."

"After all, such a continent has been developed and successfully developed. There are millions of people, and all the people are soldiers. How many troops can I send to conquer the rebellion? One hundred and twenty thousand is not enough!"

University scholar Qu Dajun took the conversation and raised his concerns.

The colony is too far away from the mainland.

And most importantly, this colony is too big.

Once built, it will undoubtedly be a powerful country that is not inferior to the native land.

Strength determines ambition.

Who can guarantee that "Lin Deng Wan" will not break out in this land in the future, turning against Ming Dynasty?

And Zhu Kezang deeply agrees with this.

After all, there are lessons learned in history.

Historically, the independence of the thirteen states and colonies in North America, no matter how the United States whitewashed it after taking office, could not change the true reason for its independence.

With the support of the mother country, a colony established with a large amount of resources is unwilling to continue to feed back the mother country after its wings have hardened!
Ever since, they raised their guns against the suzerain!

Some people may say that the people of the Thirteen Continents rebelled because of the British tax hike.

The actual situation is that the tax burden imposed by the suzerain country-Britain on the North American colonies is not a problem of excessive taxes, but the so-called "tax" does not exist at all.
Looking at one piece of data, it is very clear. What is the total amount of taxes paid by the 13 North American colonies to the United Kingdom every year?

1400 pounds.
That's right, you read that right, it's only £1400. Is this too heavy a tax burden?

That's basically no tax, okay!

In fact, not only did the people in the North American colonies not have to pay taxes to the UK, but their income was much higher than that of the native British nationals.

Was it a time when many British soldiers were doing odd jobs in places like Boston for quick money?

It is because of the huge income gap between the two places.According to a source, the income gap between the colonial people and the British was as high as 4 to 5 times.

The British earn 5 pence for a day's work in the country, but they can get 2 shillings in Boston or Philadelphia (1 shilling is equal to 12 pence).

Although the War of Independence was not directly due to taxation, it was indeed related to the tax increase in Britain in the later period.

The historical background is that Britain spent a lot of money in the Seven Years' War between Britain and France. For the purpose of reducing financial pressure, a total of 6 taxes were added to the North American colonies.

The British consider that compared with the cost of defeating the French and the cost of protecting the frontiers of the Thirteen Continents in the future, the taxes collected are a drop in the bucket. We fight for you and you bear part of the cost, which is completely reasonable.

Not to mention, five of these tax increases were abolished in less than two years, and the remaining tea tax was completely symbolic.

Besides, with such a high income, the tax increase will not affect their lives at all. Why do they need to use guns to fight for independence?
Even Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States, couldn't figure out why his compatriots were so hot-tempered in the early stage.
For a mere tax, it is not worth such a fierce resistance.

Moreover, they still colluded with foreign forces (France) to rebel against the suzerain!
This kind of thing is by no means an exception, it is almost inevitable, especially in a colony as large as Yinzhou.

Because this colony is too big and rich in products, it is not like a small colony, and no matter how developed it is, it will not have the strength to resist the mother country.

Therefore, the current Zhu Kezang must solve this problem well.

Zhu Kezang said thoughtfully:
"Although this kind of thing may happen, we, Ming Dynasty, have to take such a treasure land. What I mean is to prevent it, but we can't completely deny what the imperial court has done to Yin Zhou just because of this possibility. everything!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

For a while, everyone complimented him, but Zhu Kezang asked, "How did the past dynasties prevent this kind of problem?"

In all dynasties, there has never been such a large territory as the Ming Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, there is no other way!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Hui, Minister of the Ministry of War next to him, stroked his beard and came forward to speak.

"I think the court can use one way to prevent it, and that is to station soldiers!"

"Stationing more troops can deter dissatisfaction..."

In the short term, it is indeed possible, but in the long term, the investment is too large.

Zhu Kezang shook his head, he already had a plan in his mind, to enshrine all his children there as kings, and if they beat them to death, they would still belong to his family.

"Well, I'm not in a hurry for this matter now. Yin Zhou's strength has not yet been revealed. Now, let's not think about it. We only talk about Liu Junqing's plan. Should we agree?"

"agree!"

"agree!"

We're done talking about America.

Liu Dian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, mentioned another matter.

"Your Majesty, if the countries of Europe come to buy sugar this year, how will they sell it? How much will each country sell to them?"

Zhu Kezang laughed:
"First of all, France must not be able to sell it. This is our main enemy now. Even if they can get some sugar through Kang Mazi through smuggling, we, Daming, absolutely cannot sell it to them. Sugar!"

"Secondly, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. These two countries were excluded from NATO by Louis. The amount of white sugar in these two countries should be the same."

"As for the Ottoman country, they can buy as much as they want!"

"If the Raksha Kingdom wants to buy it, the least share will be given."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

After Zhu Kezang finished speaking, all the officials in the palace praised him one after another, but some ministers were worried and said:
"Your Majesty, Kang Mazi produces a lot of sugar. What if Kang Mazi wants to sell sugar in Europa?"
